This study continues studies on the concept of leisure as culture dependent – between tradition and modernity, while focusing on the usage of mobile phone applications and its impact on teaching and learning within a unique population. The study examined the association between having NetSpark on one’s Smartphone and utilization of spare time among students who had or did not have the program i...

INTRODUCTION Use of mobile phone has been prohibited in many hospitals to prevent interference with medical devices. Electromagnetic radiation emitted from cellular phones might interfere with electronic working length determination. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of a smart phone (Samsung Galaxy Note Edge) on working length determination of electronic apex locato...

Use of cell phones has grown dramatically. By the turn of this century, cell phone use had reached a majority of the populations in Canada, the United States, Australia, Germany, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Italy. However, a digital divide exists between people with and without disabilities in their use of mobile phones. Gaps in usage occur across all age groups. In a study by Bryen, Car...

Implementation of Bangla Speech Recognition System on Cell Phones Speech Recognition refers to the process of converting analogue speech signals into text. Since the 1970s a lot of work has undergone in this particular field. The complex nature of speech due to it's contextual meaning , dialects, accents as well as the environment makes the task of recognizing speech very difficult. A lot of re...

Wireless systems, which include cellular phones, have become an essential part of the modern life. However the mounting evidence that cellular radiation might adversely affect the health of its users, leads to a growing concern among authorities and the general public. Radiating antennas in the proximity of the user, such as antennas of mobile phones are of special interest for this matter. In ...

People tend to form social networks within specific geographical areas. This is motivated by the fact that the geographical locality corresponds generally to common interests and opportunities offered by the people active in the area (e.g. students of a university could be interested to buy or sell textbooks adopted for a specific course, to share notes, or just to meet together to play basketb...

Cellular phones can be used as mobile sensors, continuously logging users’ behavior including movement, communication and proximity to others. While it is well understood that data generated from mobile phones includes a record of phone calls, there are also more sophisticated data types, such as Bluetooth or cell tower proximity logging, which reveal movement patterns and day-to-day human inte...

A large number of techniques for location estimation relying on the existing wireless radio infrastructures have been proposed in the last few years. Solutions relying on the use of cellular networks can be used almost everywhere, but tend to have low precision. In this paper, we propose the use of information sharing among nearby mobile phones for improving accuracy of cellular-based location....
